Dating disaster - NeXt - The Buffalo News: "You could be seeing it every day in your brother's, your sister's or your best friend'srelationship. It could even be happening to you. Abuse in teen relationships is more prevalent than you might think; according to A-Troubled-Teen.com, about 1 in every 10 teenage relationships is physically abusive, and 1 out of every 4 involves mental or emotional mistreatment.

So why can dating abuse be so difficult to spot? The main reason is that a lot of people aren't exactly sure what to look for. In addition, an abusive partner wants to convince everyone involved in the relationship that what's going on is OK. The truth is, if a person is being broken down physically, mentally or emotionally, something needs to be done."
